I know how to search sorted by ascending price (e.g. use "&sort=PriceAsc" in the URL), which usually is good enough.

And I know how to limit prices at Amazon to a specific price range (e.g. "&price=100-200" will limit to titles between $1.00 and $2.00).

But, but I can't figure out how to limit to a specific price range at Kobo. It's probably something really obvious (OTOH this is Kobo, so maybe not!), but I've tried two or three things (including putting the Amazon way in the Kobo URL) and none of them work.

And I tried looking a bit on the forums here, and looked at the FAQ for the Kobo reader, but I didn't find anything with any combination of search terms I could think of.

I do have a search right now that I'd like to limit a bit on the bottom end, to suppress a bunch of low-priced public domain titles, so just sorting by ascending price won't do it. So if anyone can steer me to the right search format for a price range, that'd be great!
After doing a search that brings back a list, down the left side are some filters. That includes minimum and maximum prices but, with a limited set of options.

Using these, the URLs have "fcmaxprice" and "fcminprice" as the options needed. So:

Code:
&fcmaxprice=40&fcminprice=10
Limits the price between 10 and 40 dollars.

I did some tests using the promo search and https://store.kobobooks.com/Search?Q...&fcminprice=90 gives me 28 pages of results. And it does look like decimals work, so you can use "90.50".

You can also just use one of the options. So, I just used the minimum price to find what the most expensive book was in the Australian shop. There are 16 pages of books priced over $1444. Most of the expensive books are some sort of non-fiction. As an example, the second most expensive book is https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...n-chemistry-ii at $8,648.09. But, the most expensive book is historical fiction and is a little bit more expensive. It is https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/convict-girl and only costs:
Spoiler:
$16,112,967.19!
No one has rated it yet, so I don't know how good it is.
